It says no such thing, and the verses you quote are taken out of context. You have failed to recognize the overarching theme of the book of Hebrews In order to "get it" you will have to drop your Protestant presuppositional errors and go back to Hebrews 9 to "set the stage" properly for the verses you gave me.
Heb 9: 6 When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly into the outer room to carry on their ministry. 7 But only the high priest entered the inner room, and that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance. 8 The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place was not yet made manifest as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.
What is the "most holy place". It is the very presence of God, which was lost for all mankind by the disobedience of Adam. Mankind in the OT was separated from God and even those who lived righteous lives could not go directly into the presence of God (Heaven) but were sent to a waiting place called Paradise. This is the same place the scriptures speak of when they speak of Christ descending to the lower realms and preaching to those who were held there.
The fact that the high priest alone could go into the Holiest of All was symbolic of the fact that mankind is separated from God.
Heb 9:11 When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.
Here we begin to unearth the true meaning of Hebrews 9 and 10. Jesus is our Great High Priest. He enters into the "tabernacle that is not man-made" as our Great High Priest. This is a direct reference back to verse 7 where it speaks of the high priest entering the earthly tabernacle once a year.
What then was Jesus doing if He is the Great High Priest and is copying the once a year sacrifice of the earthly high priest?
He is performing YOM KIPPUR!! He is establishing once and forever the New Covenant with is made with the Church consisting of Jew and Gentile. That is what YOM KIPPUR is -- it is the corporate covenant offering which forgives the sins of the nation. (Lev. 16)
Here is the KEY, sir. Please read this carefully and think about it:
IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FORGIVENESS OF PERSONAL SINS!!!
NOTHING!!!
You are quoting a passage which deals with Christ's work as our Great High Priest, which means He is offering YOM KIPPUR for the "new nation" (Matthew 21:43) which is the Church, and trying to make that apply to our personal and individual sins!!
Quote:
Heb. 9 24 For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence. 25 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 26 Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Do you see those two words -- "every year?" That is PROOF that what I am talking about is the truth. This whole passage is concerned with a new and better YOM KIPPUR offered by our Great High Priest in the "tabernacle not made with hands" in Heaven. It has to do with the establishment of the New Covenant which undoes the wretched fall of Adam, restores mankind to God, and, as verse 26 says, does away with sin forever because this YOM KIPPUR cannot fail, therefore, sin will no longer be able to keep mankind separated from God.
So then, knowing that this passage is about YOM KIPPUR offered by our Great High Priest, what is the REAL MEANING of the verses you so mangled and tried to use to prove your false Protestant assertion?
Quote:
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
What does this word "sanctified" mean? It means that someone or something is put in right relationship to God. In this context then, we are indeed once and for all put in right relationship as a corporate people by the offering of YOM KIPPUR by the Great High Priest. Mankind is reunited to God IN CHRIST. This is speaking of how there is no longer any separation between mankind and God. That is why Christ went to preach to the spirits who were being held in captivity after His death. He went to tell them that He had succeeded, that He was going to the Father to offer YOM KIPPUR, and that they would soon be released and with the Father because of this. All believers who died after this YOM KIPPUR was offered went then directly into the presence of God because there was now a permanent YOM KIPPUR offering which establishes the New Covenant and reunites God and man.
Heb 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
What does this mean "can never take away sins?" Does that mean that the OT offerings did not take away sins? I had a Fundamentalist tell me that. What a load of hoooey. That was precisely the reason those offerings were offered for sin. If the Passover had not forgiven the sins of the people who offered it, they would have ALL DIED!!! Such thoughtlessness when handling the Word of God!!
It means that the daily offerings, which were offered for the personal sins of the people, could not take away the corporate sins of the people as a nation. So the writer is showing that not only YOM KIPPUR didn't take away the sin of mankind and reunite mankind to God, but even the offering of an individual could only forgive his personal sin. It could not restore him to full relationship with God because of the sin of Adam, which is why the OT believers had to wait in Paradise. They were forgiven of their personal sins, but the sin of mankind still had them separated from God.
Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
One sacrifice for sins. Which sins? Remember, Christ Jesus is acting as our Great High Priest. Therefore, He is offering YOM KIPPUR and not offering for personal sins and this verse must and can only mean one sacrifice for the sins of mankind viewed corporately. In a real sense, the first sacrifice for sin was for the sin of Adam (Aw-dahm or "mankind"). This is another reason that Jesus is called "the Last Adam" He is the new mankind Who is covenantally related to God by the YOM KIPPUR He offers in His very own Blood. All those who wish to leave the cursed and condemned mankind of Adam must "cut covenant" with Jesus and be baptized into Him (Rom. 6:3 and Gal 3:27)
Quote:Christ was sacrificed for our sins ONCE and this does not have to be repeated yearly, or weekly, or daily as in the RCC heresy of the Mass.
No sir, I have just shown you that Jesus was sacrificed once for the corporate sins of mankind. I have shown you from scripture that He is the Great High Priest and that the sacrifice being discussed in Hebrews therefore MUST BE YOM KIPPUR!! It can be nothing else because only high priests offered YOM KIPPUR once a year.
The Mass is the ceremony of covenant renewal. If you knew anything at all about covenant, how one is made, how covenant operates, and how it is renewed when it is broken, you would realize this. Sadly, 99% of Protestants and Catholics don't know a thing about covenant and when asked about it, start to blink their eyes rapidly and look confused. Yet it is the MAIN THEME of the Holy Scriptures, beginning in Genesis and going all the way to Revelation. Indeed, as one theologian has said "The Bible is a book of covenant".
Quote: Some one is blinded, that is for sure, but to say that the book of Hebrews declares that Jesus must be offered over and over again in the Mass or Eucharist is to deny the message of Hebrews.
The blindness is on the part of all Protestants who believe in the fantasy science fiction called "forensic justification". This idea that once you "accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior" (another phrase nowhere found in scripture!!), God makes a legal and forensic declaration that you are forgiven, declared innocent, and all your sins, past, present, and future, are paid for by this legal act.
It is a complete fiction nowhere supported in scripture.
When you sin, you must have an offering and you must bring that offering to God, with your repentance. We have an offering which was done one time. It is the Lamb of God. He is both the YOM KIPPUR offering for the Church, meaning that the Church will never fail, no matter how bad Her leaders are, because we have a perfect Advocate in Heaven offering a perfect YOM KIPPUR for the sins of the Church, and He is our Lamb to offer to God.
We are not re-crucifying Christ. We are presenting that eternal and done sacrifice to God so that our sins can be washed away. In the mystery of God, that offering has been since before time:
Quote: Rev. 13: 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
So you realize what is being said here? In God's timeless Heaven, the sacrifice has always been. It is still there today, for since God does not see time as we do, the event in history called The Crucifixion, is still present before His face. It is ever there to pay for our sins and the sins of the people (YOM KIPPUR). We simply make it present on the altar so that we can renew our covenant with Jesus through His Blood. This is basic covenant.
I suggest, as I have done with so many here, that you go online to the PROTESTANT WEBSITE I.C.E. freebooks and look up THAT YOU MAY PROSPER by Ray Sutton. This is one of the best foundational books on covenant I have ever seen. It will give you a solid foundation in how covenant works. Then get Scott Hahn's book A FATHER WHO KEEPS HIS PROMISES to flesh out the proper reality of how this works out in our lives.
Until you get a grip on covenant, you will not understand the Mass at all.
BTW -- One more thing. The reason that Hebrews, Galatians, and other books of the Bible deal with this is because there were Judaizers running around indicating that unless one was circumcised, one was not truly a believer and really didn't have eternal life, but was being fooled. They were still trusting in circumcision to get them into Heaven. Hebrews compares the YOM KIPPUR of the Old Covenant (and circumcision which they trusted in) with the eternal YOM KIPPUR and work of the Great High Priest, Christ Jesus, and shows that what He has done has completely done away with trusting in Jewish ritual.
